Chapter 501 Change of Dynasty
After hearing Li Junwei's words, Joseph felt that his breathing was not smooth enough, and his heart seemed to be less beaten. He forced himself to calm down so that he could digest Li Junwei's words, the Suez Canal, the birth of the Ottoman New Sultan, etc., were all shocking events.
But in my heart, Joseph sighed more that only world-class powers are qualified to plan projects like the Suez Canal. What a great honor to be able to participate in this plan.
"Of course, it's totally OK. I believe that any Jewish person would choose to be in line with the empire, especially on the issue of the Suez Canal. I believe you have seen that in the Suez region, there are already many Jewish merchants, who have also participated in the construction of the Suez Canal, and they have done very well..." Joseph could not suppress the impulse in his heart and could not help but talk to Li Junwei.
Li Junwei shook his head slightly, and Pei Yuanqi coughed lightly: "Calm your mood, Joseph, you are so excited that you have reached the point of incoherence. This is not an attitude of talking to the prince of the Empire. Do you know your current role? It is not just a Jewish businessman Joseph. His Highness Yu hopes to talk to the representative of the Jews. If you can't control yourself, I can immediately write a letter to the ambassador to Istanbul. I believe he is willing to bring the representative of the Mingus family to His Highness Yu."
When Joseph heard these words, he felt cold sweat all over. He deeply realized that today's conversation is not only a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Jewish nation, but also an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for himself? There are people in countries and regions where Jews gather, and he can take this opportunity to become a person in the Jewish people in the empire? Assuming that a Jewish country can really be established? Then he can stand at the highest peak of the Jews.
But Joseph didn't know what he should say after thinking about it. He was once extremely arrogant and hated that his situation was too small. There were only gold and silver coins in his eyes, but no real politics? But then he thought about it? What can the Mingus family do? They just have political resources in the Sultan court and are privileged merchants. They will not perform better here than themselves? Maybe that old guy would faint from hearing about the Zion.
"Great Your Highness? Please forgive me. I am indeed a little overly excited. Now my mood has calmed down. I just want to know what can serve you and the Empire." Joseph said seriously. His mind is in chaos now. There is no good plan or suggestion at all. It is better to listen to the orders of the prince in front of him.
This is also because Li Junwei chose Joseph instead of directly contacting Mingus. People with smaller structures are easier to control? Because there are some things they dare not even think about.
Li Junwei said: "At the naval reception in Xibin City, there are merchants who thought they were from Istanbul? His true identity is the younger brother of the Ottoman Sultan..."
"He is in your hands? Oh my God..." Joseph exclaimed in surprise? Seeing the two people in front of him a little impatient, he immediately covered his mouth and said, "I shut up, please give me instructions."
"He is my personal friend now, and in the near future he will become a sultan, and you can meet him, take care of his life as much as possible, and then get a letter from him or something that can prove his identity, and then take this thing to Istanbul to meet the old fool of the Mingus family, and make him give up supporting the current sultan and try to stop the loss.
Then there is the time for you to freely play, Venice, Naples, Germany, etc. Wherever you go, tell them the Suez Canal and the news that I support your restoration, and tell them not to lend to the political enemies of the Copruil family. Do you understand?" said Li Junwei.
Joseph nodded, but his eyes lit up and said, "Great Your Highness, all you say can do. When I was young, I went to all the cities where Jews gathered in the Mediterranean and met many Jews. Of course, they are really nothing compared to you.
Among the Jews I know, Old Mingus is the most ignorant and corrupt, and he gave Mustafa too much money. There is a saying in China that the ship is difficult to turn around, and I think he can no longer change, so I privately think that instead of risking leaks to convince Old Mingus, it is better to push him and let Mingus go bankrupt. What do you think?"
Li Junwei did not agree with it. The fact is that he had contacted the Mingus family. The old Mingus was indeed pedantic, but the Jews absolutely did not have the same reason to go to the dark. The old Mingus was the same. Joseph said this, so it was naturally the meaning of replacing the Mingus family.
"I don't care about the process, I only care about the result. What I need to tell you is that Jews in other countries can stand by and watch, but the Ottoman Jews do not have this qualification. Do you know the Chinese saying that those who follow me will prosper and those who go against me will perish?" Li Junwei asked.
Joseph focused on it: "Of course, of course, Your Highness, I fully agree with your opinion. Negotiating cooperation will always have many troubles and surprises, because it is always difficult to succeed, but it is much easier to destroy cooperation. Don't worry, the Ottoman Jews will stand on your side and become the sword in your hand."
"You go and do it, Joseph. Opportunities will always be given to those who are prepared, seize the opportunity." Li Junwei said.
Joseph hurriedly gave up. Even though he had countless words in his heart and wanted to say to Li Junwei, he knew that this Chinese prince could not deceive him by virtue of his beautiful words, and he still had to do things.
"You told him too much, I'm afraid it will leak the secret." Pei Yuanqi reminded.
"In Europe, there will be no monarch who ignores the words of the Jews, but no monarch who believes the words of the Jews. The so-called leaks are just to urge our allies, Copruri, to speed up, and I don't have time to spend with them here.
And Joseph knew what to say and what not to say." Li Junwei responded lightly.
"He is not reliable enough. Now he is humble in front of you and will soon do the same thing before Fazo and Hussein. The county magistrate is worse than to take charge. He is a Jew of the Ottomans..." Pei Yuanqi expressed his doubts, but before he finished speaking, he already understood Li Junwei's plan in his heart: "So tell him about the Zion in the Levant and the Suez Canal. In these two major events, the Jews will stand firmly with us."
Suleiman II asked with an idealistic attitude: "Who can still limit Sudan in this world?"
"Many, such as the Coprudents who support you, such as those guard generals, who just couldn't get what they wanted from me, so they found you. You can't give them what they want, and you will eventually be trapped here. Your status has not changed, and you are still just birds kept in a golden silk bird cage. If you have the will to power, you can only die..." Muhammad smiled sinisterly.
Suleiman shook his head: "No, you said it wrong. No matter what they are, I will always be Sultan."
"Impossible." Muhammad couldn't believe it.
Joseph coughed lightly and said, "The great Sultan is determined to re-enforce the ancient and glorious Fraricide system."
"What?" Mohammed almost jumped up.
"It is appropriate for any of my sons to be the Sultan, and he killed his brothers for a better world order. Most religious people have declared such permission..." Suleiman II was chanting a legal provision with pride.
Mohammed was desperate. This was a bloody inheritance system that was first implemented after the establishment of the Ottoman Empire. In that era, the Sultan's brothers were not imprisoned at all, but were killed with the Sudan's succession. It even evolved into the Sudan. In order to ensure that his status was not threatened, not only his brothers and nephews, but also his sons were killed. The most Sultan directly killed more than 130 direct blood relatives.
"You can't kill me, they just deposed me, and the guards won't agree." Mohammed roared.
"You said they went to the front line, and the army of Copruil. In Istanbul, the strongest army comes from China in the East, and they are on my side like Joseph, so you and your son will become part of glory together, just like my son." Suleiman II said firmly.
Mohamed quickly shook his head: "Don't kill me, I know many secrets that can help you have real power."
"I don't know whether what you said is true or false, but if you want to show your sincerity, you should say something that interests me, such as..."
"Please give me instructions, I will definitely not hide it."
"For example, if you convince your favorite concubines to serve me well," Suleiman said excitedly.
"Okay, as long as you don't kill me, I can convince them, but not..."
"My dear brother, you know I like what you cherish the most. Now that I have the position of Sultan, your woman is next."
"Okay, I'll let..." Mohammed's face was completely dead gray. He said the names of several women, especially when he talked about one of them, he almost cried.
After hearing these names, Suleiman suddenly burst into laughter. It was a kind of crazy laughter that was successful. He did not entangle with Mohammed anymore, but left with a crazy laugh. Mohammed finally understood that the Sultan was not here to discuss the conditions with him. He was determined to kill him from the beginning, but before that, he should know that he was in love with those women, and fortunately he would take revenge after his death.
"You will go to hell..." Muhammad shouted, but he saw the door closed, and then there was a rolling smoke.
